Grateful to the ATA for creating opportunities that support and inspire early-career researchers across Australia.
Attended ARNA for the first time in Sydney — loved being part of the vibrant Australian RNA community.
Many Thanks to @unswrna.bsky.social for their support.
Our lncRNA-in-brain review is out in @natrevneuro.nature.com
✨ The emerging roles of long noncoding RNAs in the brain
We discuss 🧬 lncRNA roles in brain development, synaptic function, learning, & behavior
💡 Therapeutic potential and future directions.

The emerging roles of long non-coding RNAs in the nervous system — a Review by Saba Altaf, Mitchell J. Cummins, Lars M. Ittner & John S. Mattick
#neuroscience #neuroskyence
www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Long non-coding RNAs are abundant in the brain, where they are proposed to regulate numerous processes. In this Review, Mattick and colleagues describe our current understanding of their mechanisms of action, focusing on their contributions to enhancer function and the organization of specialized intracellular domains, and consider their roles in brain function and dysfunction.
